TK-7980

Yeah, he's REALLY quick. Paid and shipped same day!

Looking good!

It's all personal preference, but I think the MRCE looks horrible. Back when they were first appearing on ebay, they were around 80-100 dollars. Now they're getting a little rarer, around the 200 dollar mark, which is a little ridiculous and a bit too much for me to spend if I'm going to end up cutting it up and just practicing modding on it. My 2c.

Noooooooo. Go for an ATA, TE2, PT, VT, AP, DA, CAP anything but an MRCE!

Michael is your gun from the vac formed Cushman people?

Man its a toss up between this and a snowtrooper now... AWESOME job.

I believe they're identical.

Head over to TDH, they have templates for making your own helmets out of paper/cardboard/bondo....

Just don't pay.

The Hasbro and resin kits are durable, I've dropped mine and it hasn't chipped or broken. (only dropped from about 3 or 4 feet onto hardwood floor dunno about concrete... :S ) the PURE resin kits, where the entirety of the blaster is resin I might be a little more worried about. The MR blasters I hear are pretty heavy but look damn good. PVC Builds are always great looking and are pretty durable. Sci-Fire is still making blasters, they occasionally have a FS thread here but I'm pretty sure you can order directly from them. They're made of a super strong firm rubber and are great for trooping. Not sure on cost though. Hope that helps.

Do you have a shim in there? Or is it just the 2 pieces that you have for closing the shins together? If its the latter, then just remove the strip that's on the inside of the shin and velcro them shut and see how that looks/feels.

Hope you can see them...

Go for TK boots, they're about 10 bucks cheaper and they aren't shiny. Just my preference I guess, since its closer to what was seen in the movies. They also don't have the stitching on the side.

There are loops in the TKBoots image. Technically the TKboots are more accurate because they aren't glossy.

I've seen some Dr. Martins in person before, they're the size of a work boot if I remember correctly...

There's just something about it, I'm not entirely happy with it. I dunno. I'm gonna finish it up and sell it.

Like oiftanker, I don't really like this helmet all too much. So look for a FS thread in the near future...

Don't mean to derail your thread AGAIN, but this was under the related and I thought it was pretty funny. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2n1nc_han-solo-cops-a-feel

AM or RT mod. AM is just an up sized FX. You can reach RT mod at rt-mod.com

Need to trim the teeth and do a little paint up and its finished. Theres a bit of space between the helmet and the ears, but it isn't that noticeable and I don't feel it will be a problem. Thanks for giving me quite a bit of confidence to just go for it, guys.

Ignore the girly stuff, its my girlfriends room. I am a manly man, I can assure you!

Fantastic. I'll be trimming the ears and test fitting before trimming back at the cap then. Thanks Tom!

Bump for my last question

Looking at this picture, I think the overlap MIGHT be ok... You can see on the ring of the helmet a corner like the one created by my helmet due to the cap and back angling a bit upward. What do you think? Am I just seeing things or is it really there?
